I was expecting a tablet when reading through the post and I definitely did not expect a unit that was that well put together after looking at the video. great job.

This is how it looks in peaces.
Only difference is that i used 12V car TDA7391 power amps to make it to my trip, later it will have better quality audio

Just come back from 5552.5km trip around Europe, and i must say, 1 weak of hard work without sleep for making this headunit payed off so much. It was joy to use it. It was very dependable and very accurate navigation system, and google offline maps with sound notification was so easy to understand, rerouting is extremely quick.

I am extremely pleased how it turn out
